Mother Throws Newborn Against Door For Crying

A 2-month-old Texas infant is recovering after his mom threw him against the door for crying, say police.

Emergency responders were called to the Mineral Wells home for a reported “sick child”. The baby boy was airlifted to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, where his condition was not immediately clear.

Police say that 24-year-old Brooke Lauren Reed admitted to throwing the infant into the front door because he was crying.

Reed was charged with injury to a child with serious bodily injury, which is a first-degree felony.

Mineral Wells Police Chief Dean Sullivan said that if the child should “take a turn for the worse,” charges would be upgraded.
